'Mortal Shell' (ALL) Moves Into PC Open Beta

by Rainier on July 5, 2020 @ 2:50 a.m. PDT

Mortal Shell is a ruthless and deep action-RPG that tests your sanity and resilience in a shattered world.

As the remains of humanity wither and rot, zealous foes fester in the ruins. They spare no mercy, with survival demanding superior awareness, precision and instincts. Track down hidden sanctums of devout followers and discover your true purpose.

Awakening as an empty vessel, you will enter into a shattered and twisted world where the remains of humanity wither and rot. Implored to do the bidding of the mysterious “Dark Father,” you must traverse this tattered landscape and track down hidden sanctums of devout followers. There, in Mortal Shell’s most hallowed grounds, you must overcome formidable foes and harvest the sacred glands. You won’t be truly alone when the dead litter your path: Scattered across this land are the remnant anima of lost warriors who can be inhabited to gain their unique abilities and knowledge of weapons.

The Dark Father is desperate for you to complete your task — but to what end?

Your adversaries spare no mercy, with survival demanding superior awareness, precision and instincts. Possess lost warriors, track down hidden sanctums of the devout, and face formidable foes.

Earlier this week Mortal Shell held a closed Beta for a lucky few to get some hands-on with a challenging demo featuring the outskirts of Fallgrim and the Abandoned Chamber.

However, due to popular demand the team has decided to open up the beta for all fans as of today.

Players will be able to head to the Epic Game Store RIGHT now to download the demo and start honing their skills for when Mortal Shell makes its official debut later this summer.
